CITY OF CARLSBAD
CPO REGIONAL ENERGY PLAN
Statement of the Matter
Initial
Dept.
C. Atty,
C. Mgr.
The CPO adopted the subject plan on August 14, 1978. This is a comprehensive
program for local action for the conservation of energy and to encourage
use of ,lternative energy sources. The plan contains action programs
recommended for local jurisdictions' evaluation and adoption. The
implementation of this plan requires that the City Council affirm the
Regional Energy Plan Policy, and direct staff to evaluate the action
programs and make recommendations among those that Carlsbad should adopt
and implement. :his needs to be done in November, 1978. Jurisdictions
may elect to adopt action programs which require little refinement at this
step. Therefore, it appears that the City Council may take two actions
on this matter at this time: 1) City Council affirm the regional plan
policy and direct staff to evaluate the action program, including
detailed implementation issues, by January, 1979, and 2) Adopt those action
programs which require only a statement that Carlsbad agrees with and
supports the program.
Please note that this is only a preliminary step in the '.mplementation of
the program. The CPO hopes to have all programs implemented and operational
by August, 1979. To give some idea of the probability of meeting this
time goal, staff evaluated the recommended programs. From this view,
we believe though some take only a simple vote to affirm City Council's
desires, others will take a great amount of staff time to accomplish,
and therefore there is little chance that the City would meet the
progress as outlined by CPO. For further discussion on these action
programs, please see the attached memo to the City Manager, dated October
17, 1978.

Summary of Regional Energy Plan
Recommendation
If the City Council agrees with the CPO Regional Energy Plan, the Council
should direct the attorney to prepare a resolution affirming the regional
energy plan policy, and the City Council should direct staff to evaluate
the action programs and make recommendations of those that should be
adopted and implemented. If the Council agrees with staff's evaluation
that action programs 1-6, 4-A, and 5 can be supported presently, they should
direct the staff to place such a statement in the Affirming Resolution.

TO: Paul Bussey, City Manager
FROM: James C. Hagaman, Planning Director
SUB7ECT: COP REGIONAL ENERGY PLAN - REPORT R-7, 8/14/78:
RECOMMENDED ACTION PROGRAMS ON ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
SOURCES.
The CPO wishes that the City review the subject action program
and implement those suited to local conditions. The CPO suggests
that the first implementation step is for the City Council to
adopt a resolution supporting the Regional Energy Plan policies
and direct the City staff to evaluate the action programs and make
recommendations on those that should be implemented by staff.
The CPO Regional Energy Plan contains 14 recommended action programs
on alternative energy sources. Most of these programs will require
extensive action programs for their implementation. However, some
can be adopted as a simple statement of support included in the
resolution. I have reviewed these action programs to determine
which could be supported by a statement in the resolutation and which
ones will require some degree of city review for involvement. For
an Understanding of what is required, the following is an outline
for carrying out these action programs.
A) Review of action programs: This is part of what I have attempted
to do in this memo.
B) Work Program: This is to determine what needs to be done and
How to implement. This is to be accomplished June, 1979.
C) Implementation: This is the development of the ordinances and
policies necessary far implementation. This is to be accom-
plished August, 1979.
D) Administration: This is the on -going implementation of the
programs after they have been adopted.
For your information, the fallowing discussions are my brief re-
view of the action programs. Where feasible, I have included a
rough estimate of staff time involved for developing a work program.
Hopefully, it gives some idea of the magnitude of the Regional
Energy Plan. From this, the City Council should have a better
idea of what they are asking from city staff by supporting the
Regional Energy Plan.
The energy plan recommended action programs do not fall into easy
categories for implementation, therefore, for my discussion on
these issues I have listed the various codes, policies and work
programs that will have to be adopted or amended to implement the
programs. To follow my discussion you will need to refer to page
6, 7 and 8 of the summary document which is attached to the agenda
bill. The following discussion hopefully w-11 give you and the
City Council some idea of the work involved to implement these
programs.
Zone Code Amendments
Zone Code Amendments will be necessary to implement recommended
programs 1-A, 1-B, 1-C and 4-B. This Zone Code Amendment will
remove barriers to solar and windpower devices, prohibit covenants
that restrict collectors, give flexibility for setback regulations
and promote solar access. Staff has determined that to prepare
such a Zone Code Amendment will take approximately 400 man-hours;
150 for research and preparation, 100 for review and redrafting and
150 final drafting, hearing and follow-up. The entire process will
take approximately 1 year to complete.
Design Review
These recommended programs appear to lead the cities into a design
review process. A design review process would implement programs
2 and 9. It will provide the means to cluster industrial/commercial
uses for cogeneration, methods to design lots and structure siting
to maximize solar efficiency, and to review design of buildings to
m:in:mize energy consumption. To create such a design review board
with guidelines, staff calculates it will take approximately 480
mac -hours; 180 for research and preparation, 150 for review and
redrafting, and 150 for final draft, hearings and follow up. It
will take approximately 1 year to complete.
Building Codes and Policies.
The building code will have to be amended and possibly some policies
adopted for plan check procedures to implement reconunended programs
1-C, 1-D, 1-B, 4B, 8-10 and 11. This program will remove barriers
for future solar energy devices, encourage cost affective solar
heating for domestic water and swimming pools, and promote active
solar heating systems. In addition, it will implement the most
cost effective means of meeting state and building codes for energy
efficiency, encourage upgrading energy efficiency of existing buildings
and the weatherization of low-income residents.
Staff has not determined what staff sources or time commitments would
be required to complete these code or policy amendments.
Redevelopment Policy
To implement programs 10 & 11 the Redevelopment Department needs
to draft methods to upgrade existing buildings to energy efficiency
and to accellerate the weatherization of low-income residences
through funding sources. Staff determined
that to prepare such
of which research and

approximately 1 year to accomplish.
To initiate program 7 the City Engineer and Director of Utilities and
Maintenance to do an action program to install energy saving street
lights, and convert existing street lights where cost effective.
It has been determined that the action program alone would take
approximately 50 man-hours .
City Council Policies
The City Council should consider adopting policies to meet recommended
programs 1-F, 2, 3, 6, 12, 13 and 14. These policies would give
support to the implementation of a solar utility; give direction for
clustering of industrial and commercial uses to promote cogeneration;
give guidance to bio-mass conversion and recycling; implementing
available technical assistant programs in building construction,
operation and maintenance; provide an area wide quality management
plan; support regional air quality strategy; and support State and
Federal, utility conservation, local management and rate restructuring
programs.
There are three programs I believe the City Council could adopt at
this time, they are: 1-G, 4-A, and 5. grogram 1-G is the participation
in energy efficient demonstration projects: "Jurisdiction should
demonstrate new or emerging technology and public buildings to advertise
and possibly provide operational experience." Program 4-A is: the
support of windpower by: "Support the State program to evaluate sites
and the feasibility of a central plant in the mountain ridge or high
desert areas in cooperation with San Diego Gas & Electric." "Program
5 is the support of geothermal energy by "Support San Diego Gas
& Electric Imperical County projects, and provide assistance to
San Diego Gas & Electric where possible."
Recommendation
It is recommended that this information be submitted to the City
Council for review and to instruct staff to prepare final action
programs for those programs the City Council wishes to pursue.
These action programs should be returned to the City Council for
reivew by January 1979.

INTROIUMON
Energy is an issue that affects many land use, economic and environmental areas
of concern, including transportation, land use patterns, building design, resi-
dential densities, water use, solid waste management, and air quality, anong
others. The amount of energy consumed in the region depends upon land use
characteristics; the energy consumption rate of transportation vehicles, household
appliances, and other devices; tha level of industrial activity and commercial
services in the local economy; and the lifestyles of the people within the
San Diego Region.
Because of rising fuel prices and the predicted long-term shortage of conventional
energy supplies relative to the growing demand, it is important for the juris-
diction in the region to have energy policies and programs dealing with energy
suplly and demand, energy conservation, and alternative energy sources. CPO,
as the council of governments for all fourteen cities and the County of San Diego,
has worked with local jurisdictions to develop and recommend the energy programs
and policies contained in this Plan.
The preparation of the Regional Energy Plan was authorized by the CPO Board of
Directors as a result of its adoption of a set of Regional Energy Policies in May
of 1976. 'I1ie Plan has been prepared iaith the advice of the Regional Energy Task
Force, composed of 27 representatives of local government agencies; citizen,
business and industry groups; and state and federal energy organizations.
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The r-ajor purposes of this plan are (a) to identify actions that; can be inn)le--
mented by local governments to contribute to efficient utilization of a limited
energy supply; (b) minimize unnecessary consumption; and (c) promote the practical
use,of alternative energy sources in the San Diego Region.
r These purposes are aimed at achieving the regional goals of ensuring an adequate
supply of energy to meet future demands and achieving a balance of energy supply,
demand and price consistent with a viable economy and quality of life. 17le
appropriate role for local governments in helping to meet this goal is to take
action in the areas where they call have a direct impact. Local government.responsi-
bilities in such areas as land use and transportation planning and regulation, and
the construction of public facilities provide an opportunity to take positive
actions to promote energy conservation and the use of alternative sources such as
solar energy. Responsibilities for the provision of large scale, conventional
energy supplies rest with state and federal regulatory agencies and private
industry. Therefore, thie Regional Energy Plan has focused on developing con-
servation and alternative source programs which can be carried out by local
governments.
:1 1
The -plan has been prepared in four major work items:
1. Definition of the Problem. Tt was first necessary to define as precisely
as poss1ble the nature and extent of the energy problem as it relates to the
San Diego Region. What is the problem, and how serious is it? What is the
outlook for energy supply aril demand? Miat are the patterns of energy con-
sumption in the region? These issues were explored before addressing the
programs necessary to reduce energy consumption and to promote the use of
alternative energy sources. This work is discussed in Chapter II of the
Plan.
2. Enemy Conservation. Emphasis is given to conservation because local
governments can provide a major -stimulus in implementation of conservation
measures. This work item involved an analysis of energy conservation targets
and actions and the recmmendation of tactics based on maximizing cost-
effectiveness and minimsoc
ial, cial, economic, and environmental disruption
in the region. The potential energy savings, estimated costs, an3 other .
impacts for existing and proposed conservation tactics are given in Chapter.
III of the Plan.
3. Alter.tative Er-ergy Sources. An analysis was prepared of feasible alter-
native energy sources for the San Diego Region. Programs to make it easier
to implement solar energy application`. and other practical alternative energy
sources in this region are discussed in Chapter TV of the Plan.
4. Action Programs. A set of 20 actio,t programs -was -designed for imple-
mentation y local jurisdictions based on the analysis of energy conservation
and alternative energy sources prepared under work items two and three. The ,
action programs are coordinated, and complement existing state and federal
activities in promoting zonservation and the use of alternative sources, An
implementation schedule and technical assistance program was developed by
which the CPO can coordinate and assist local implementation actions.' The
action programs and implementation schedule are discussed in Chapter V of the
Plan.
REGIONAL ENERGY POLICIES. ~'
Policies,I through V were adopted by the CPO in May, 1976. Policy VI has been
added to identify the role of local governments in ensuring adequate future energy ,
supplies for the region, y:

of energy.
2. The region is presently dependent on a few major conventional sources of
energy: electricity, natural gas and gasoline.

RE GNENDED ACTION PROGRAMS
FOR LOCAL GOVERM•OP IMPLEbEMATIO,
• ,ey'
• i
•x
:i
The specific action programs recommended for adoption are summarized in this .
section and described fully in Chapter V of the Regional Fnergy Plan. The programs
selected are intended to'respond to current needs and conditions and are expected
to produce significant results within the neat 5 to 10 years. They reflect a
realistic strategy for local government involvement in energy management:
Assist in the implementation of state and federal standards by
interpreting intent, analyzing and promoting alternative designs
suitable for the region, and prorating awareness of options and
their benefits.
Recommend revision to existing.state standards where warranted by
local differences,
Purge existing codes and ordinances of restrictions against the use
�of conservation and alternative energy source technology, and provide
opportunities for later installation.
Provide positive progrxiis for conserving energy and promoting the
use of alternative .energy sources for existing buildings, new
construction and public facilities and operators.
. encourage analyses of energy use options to save energ, and money.
Act as a catalyst with other involved groups (lenders, builders,
4
~installers, utility) to prorate joint action programs-.
., ,.Maintain an awareness of and participate in important aspects of
conventional fuel supplies. Conventional, large scale supply projects
'-will provide the majority of the regional energy requirements over
the next decade.
The guiding philosophy in recommending actions has been to remove barriers to
efficient energy utilization and use of alternative energy sources rather than
mandating restrictive energy actions. By removing barriers, energy economic
n`n
forces come into full play and cause people to use energy more wisely. The
basic criterion used in selecting the recommended programs was cost-effectiveness
to the energy consumer over the life -cycle of the program. Throughout the action
programs, various levels of implementation are indicated. These range from in-
formational activities to encouraging voluntary behavior, to incentives, to mandated
laws or ordinances with control through the permit process and enforcement. Man-
datory programs are recommended only when there are significant cost and energy
saving benefits that would clearly not be attained through private market forces.
Also, mandated programs contain performance standa:ds rather than prescriptive
formulas, and fully consider the cost impact on the user -consumer as well as,
governmental implementation costs. The action programs contain sample ordinances
to illustrate many of the recommendations, which will have to be considered
for applicability, revised, and customized for each jurisdiction by its staff
prior to local adoption.

7.
Natural gas demand is forecast to grow at a ;nominal rate and will continue
to comprise the third largest category of total regional energy demand in
future years.
8.
The region's energy use patterns are distinct from statewide and national
averages.
9.
There is a wide divergence of energy use patterns within the region, based
on climatic differences, availability of fuels, and accessibility of housing
to employment and transit.
10
The major responsibility for new supplies of conventional energy sources r
lies with private industry and state and federal regulatory agencies. Local
governments' responsibilities relate most directly to the efficiency of energy
consumption and to the use of small scale alternative energy sources such
as solar.
Based
on the "definition of the energy problem" presented. above, there are three
conclusions to be drawn ti><at are important for the forrarlation of local government
energy programs: ..
o
Local governrient energy programs should focus on the objectives of increasing
the efficiency with which energy is used, and of promoting the use of alter-
native energy sources. Such programs need to be customized to meet unique
+•
regional and local conditions.
o
Rising prices ,for conventional energy sources and the continuing grotith in
energy demand for the region will insure that the inplementation of energy,
conservation and alternative energy sources programs, as well as the supply
,
of additional conventional energy sources, will continue to be major public
concerns during tine foreseeable future. _
+°
y
o
aisting patterns of energy use, and forecasts of these patterns into the
future, indicate that there is a potential for conservation and alternative
sources to satisfy a significant portion of tine region's energy demand.

The recommended action programs are as follows:
Recommended Programs on Alternative Energy Sources
.1. Solar Energy
(a) Adopt a solar -access zoning -regulation. The regulation suggested in
Viie- Ian provides that access _to tT sun be protected in alriost all
new construction, and encourages the use of private easements to insure
solar access for existing or p nosed solar equipment.
(b) Ad it ordinance revisionsto o tvnize the passive use of the sun
in new developments.`.tie ordinance revisions would prolniizt cove-
narts that restrict the use of solar collectors, allow variances in
setbacks to promote solar access, require building analysis to
increase passive solar design, and require shading of southfacing
glass.
(c) Remove barriers to future use- of solar energy devices from build

It is recoiwended t tat solar
hot water systems not be mandated single family residences, given
the premise that mandated programs should be clearly cost-effective
to the consumer; that they be required in multiple family residential
. units where analysis indicates they are cost-effective; that there be
aeAequate space on south facing roofs of new residential buildings for
solar equipment; and that municipal swirbaing pools be solar heated„ -'

should emonstrate new or emerging technologies in public buildings
to advertise the possibilities and provide operational experience.
2. Cogeneration ^ '

sewage sludge, and reconmend that policies on sewage methane recovery and .
use and solid waste recycling be reevaluated in lig;tt of new information
on energy potential and.progran costs and revenues.
4. Wind Power %.
(a) Support the state program to evaluate sites and the feasibility of a
central plant in the mountain ridge or high desert areas in cooperation

in conjunction with state, federal, and utility programs, CPO will play a coor;•
dinating role and provide technical assistance in the various phases of local
jurisdiction adoption and implementation.
The i.niplenientation process details the steps necessary for local jurisdictions
to evaluate and implement the action programs which are most effective and practical j
given their particular local situation. It is anticipated that some jurisdictions
will be able io adopt and implement several of the action programs immediately,
while the initiation of other programs will require several months to develop
data. and evaluate implementation alternatives. The,CPO will provide an organized
program,of technicaLassistancerto-assist local governments in evaluating.and .`.ti"-"
6itii refining the actirograms, and'help defray the initial costs of implementing,,,
them. Detailed proposals fte or this chnical assistance program have been prepared
and submitted to' federal agencies for funding. An additional proposal will be�
submitted to .the state later this year. b. i
The technical assistance program is anticipated to include the conduct of workshops ,k�y
for local staff persons involved in the refining and irrplementation of the action
programs, the development of a climatic data base in order to allow the adaptation'
of action programs to particular local areas, and the pass -through of funds
to local jurisdictions to help them in refining and instituting the action pro-
grams. A task force consisting of implementing agency staffs, expert resource
persons, and representatives of public and private organizations involved in
energy issues will be constituted to advise on the implementation of the action
programs. :a

Figures 1 through 4 graphica:ly depict forecasts of densnd for each energy type
acid potential reductions due to the recommended alternative source and conser;raticn
actions programs. In each graph, the top line represents a forecasted base '
nergy demand in the San Diego Region from which the energy demand reduction
due to conservation and alternative source actions are subtracted. The "current
conservation tactics" line represents future demand assuming implementation of
the conservation tactics currently being planned or implemented by the state
and federal governments and SDGM The "additional conservation tactics" line is
the future energy demand assumLing that both the current and.the additional Iocal..,
government conservation tactics arQ implemented. The "alternative sources" line
is 66 future energy demand assuming implementation of all of the conservation .
and alternative source action programs recommended in the Regional Energy Plan.
The graphs showing electrical an&,peak electrical demand contain lanes labeled
